Libya has been the centre of proxy wars for a long time now and Russia and Turkey are the key players who are playing around with the governance of the crisis struck country. But now as the latest development suggests, Turkey has nearly agreed with Russia on a ceasefire in Libya.
The latest
development has been confirmed by the foreign minister of Turkey, Mevlut Cavusoglu, in an interview with CNN Turk after the
meeting in Ankara. Both the nations have been having a series of talks with
each other regarding the matters of Syria and Libya and development in these
unfortunate countries.
If everything
works out fine then this deal will be beneficial for Libya after years of proxy
wars. Both the countries have shown support to two extreme factions in Libya
where Moscow has been supporting the commander of Libyan National Army, Khalifa
Haftar while Turkey supports the globally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA).
Libya has been made into a battlefield for proxy wars
represented by mercenaries who are fighting for something they don't even know
about as they have been taken advantage of their poverty and brought into
Libya. But if the deal is fixed then it will be good news for not only these
mercenaries but Libyan nationals who are tortured due to escalating tensions
every other hour.
There was a demand to lift hostility over the oil
facilities in Libya and GNA declared a ceasefire over it, a move that was
bluntly dismissed by Haftar even though Aguila Saleh, one of the leaders of the
rival parliament, backed GNA on this. Earlier this year, the situation turned
turbulent when nearly one million people were displaced due to continuous
violence in the state and that resulted in Russia and Turkey confronting each
other on halting the blockade on oil transportation.
